HEATER ATTACHMENT FOR LAMPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 544,116, dated August6, 189 5.

Application filed March 30, 1895.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNEST F. PFLUEGER, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new anduseful Improvements in Heater Attachments forLamps; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the acompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of attachment. Fig. 2 isa sectional view of invention applied.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved curling-ironheater which can be manufactured at a low cost and which can be readilyadjusted to the chimney of a coaloil lamp, being adapted to retainitself in place on the chimney, and for use with curling-irons ofdifferent styles and sizes, and also for general heating purposes.

WVith this object in view the invention consists in the novelconstruction and combination of parts, all as hereinafter described, andpointed out in the appended claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates thecircular body porti on of the heater, which is preferably stamped orstruck from sheet metal, with a surrounding depending flange or skirtportion a, which in use fits over the upper portion of the lampchimney.

b b b are three oblong or oval openings which are cut in the bodyportion to receive and hold different sizes and styles of curlingirons.

b is a smaller central opening adapted for smaller irons. Struck up fromthe outer edge portion of each of the openings 17 b b is a small raisedlip or projection 0. These lips are for the purpose of supporting a panor vessel for heating water, 850.

d d d are spring-legs which are secured to the under side of the portionA and which.

are adapted to extend into the chimney. The legs (1 d are'nsually formedin one piece, being connected by a transverse portion 01 which isriveted to the portion A. The leg 01 has a short arm d, which issimilarly secured to said portion. The lower portion of each leg iscurved outwardly, as indicated, to engage the inner wall of the chimney.The legs may be easily bent to adjust them to diiferent sizes ofchimneys.

It will be seen that the arms (1 and d of the leg serve to strengthenand reinforce the portion A, which, owing to the openings cut therein,would otherwise easily bend.

If preferred I may use two of the springlegs instead of threethat is tosay, the leg d may be omittedor I may, if-desired, use four legs. I mayalso vary the number and form of the openings which receive the irons.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, the herein described attachment forlamps for heating curling irons, and for general heating purposes, saidattachment consisting of a flat circular sheet metal body portion havinga surrounding, depending fiange or skirt designed ERNEST F. PFLUEGER.
